"The Election Commission has not recruited any temporary 'election police' and will rely only on regular security forces."

Multiple outlets, including Khabarhub, Nepal News and the Nepal News election explainer, describe an Integrated Election Security Plan that explicitly includes large numbers of temporary 'election police' or election constables. Khabarhub reports that around 133,000 election police will support roughly 77,000 Nepal Police officers at polling centres, while the Nepal News explainer notes an overall deployment of more than 300,000 security personnel, including tens of thousands of newly recruited temporary constables. Coverage by Channel NewsAsia similarly references 'tens of thousands of young Nepalis' hired for temporary policing jobs. These consistent accounts contradict claims that only regular security forces will be deployed.
